Inflation

Every morning, when the boss of a large City firm went to work, he passed an old beggar selling boxes of matches from a tray slung round his neck. And every morning, the boss gave him lOp, though he never accepted a box of matches in return. This went on for months until one day, on receiving his lOp, the beggar said, 'Excuse me mentioning it, sir, but matches are now 15p a box.'
